cablespaghetti.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
70 days uptime on my #HP #parisc 715/100XC Webbserver running #NetBSD
Haha.. I think i will retire it from online duty
And let my #raspberrypi mini take over
Good experiment
Only thing i did was to tune nowait down from 600 to 100 in inted.conf on my httpd
I should kick off this thread with Archimedes, the #owl #CompanionBot in the first pic! Made him for #BayArea #MakerFaire in May '18, with a #RaspberryPi brain, then updated in '21 with an #Arduino for motor control.
I've been working on smaller versions since then – including Nano'Medes here, with #origami wings – and plugging away at the new "Prince Stolas" version. Both use my Companion Core PCB (more on that soon!) 🦉🤖💙✨

Pining for a faster Raspberry Pi? You'll need a pinch of pi-tience (sorry/not sorry) as the next major revision won't be arriving soon.

Run your own decentralized social platform on shared hosting or a tiny VPS WITHOUT Redis, PostgreSQL, or complex infrastructure.
What it makes so special to me? It looks awesome, comes with a great admin web interface and does not require a VPS instance where it can also be operated on a cheap shared hosting systems. By the given requirements, it also easily runs on a #RaspberryPI and all kind of systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Illumos and more!
This all makes it perfect to everyone and even beginners to run their own instance. With relay support (e.g., fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) it even can consume and post content over non-directly connected instances in the #fediworld!

I've finally got my music working kind of the way I want. The #RaspberryPi that powers my #LoRes node now also has a hard drive full of music attached. I've got #Navidrome installed (via #CoopCloud) so I can stream music from my devices on the go. That doesn't work with my Sonos though (honestly, the Sonos have been a disappointing part of this mix) so it also has the music drive mounted as a Samba share, which Sonos is indexing according to it's own whims.
Every week or two I'm enjoying buying new music on #Subvert. I've got some older stuff from band camp. And popular stuff or things I'd already bought on CD are acquired by other means. Spotify is gone, and my music works even when the internet is down.
Just discovered a real-time audio bird classification system for Raspberry PIs:

This might just be one of the coolest projects I’ve actually stumbled across. Cannot wait to try this some time.

Anyone know what the GPIO to kernel interrupt latency is on a Raspberry Pi? Any model but especially the 2 and 3. #raspberrypi
Kennt hier jemand etwas ähnlich "Industrie-taugliches" wie ein Revolution Pi?
Aber zu einem Consumer-freundlichen Preis?
Hintergrund ist, dass ein Kunde von mir gerne ein Raspi in einem Mietshaus installieren würde. Für Automatisierung / SmartHome / Lademanagement etc.
Er lebt selbst nicht darin und hat keine Lust, alle paar Wochen ein gecrashtes Pi auszutauschen oder SD-Karten zu rotieren.
Das Ding wird installiert und muss dann einfach einige Jahre ohne viel Liebe durchlaufen.
Mit anderen Worten: Einfach stabil sein. SW wird natürlich aktualisiert, aber auf HW-Faxen haben er und ich keine Lust.
Gibt's da einen Tipp? :)
Finally got around to finishing this post:
"Serving a Website on a Raspberry Pi Zero Running Entirely in RAM"
Coming back to this: yes, it's the Raspberry Pi Imager. For some reason it has stopped writing the user groups and sudoers info to the `user-data` file in `system-boot`, for any version of Ubuntu. It definitely USED to work, as I used it to provision all my Pis. #RaspberryPi #Linux #Ubuntu
What?? This is a freshly installed version of 26.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4 using the Raspberry Pi Imager. Has anyone else encountered this?
Have I bought junk? Every video I see on crimping JST connectors says to use the 1.4mm and 1.9mm crimp positions. The crimper that came with my set of JST bits has 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5mm. I’m having a hell of a time making connections and I think this might be why.
First image is from a how to video. Second is my actual crimper. I think they bundled the wrong crimper. Or labeled it badly.
Ever since I got some new #Inverter and #Batteries for my #SolarPanels, I’ve been looking for a way to process the data they produce. To be sure, the manufacturer has a nice #WebApp but I wanted something I could tinker with. Therefore, a while ago, I bought a #HomeAssistantGreen, which is basically a #RaspberryPi #SBC which is pre-loaded with #HAOS and so is a functioning #HomeAssistant instance.
Thinking of building a wireless bridge to replace one that has to be reset at least once per day. I could use a #RaspberryPi Zero W with USB wired Ethernet or a B+ with USB WiFi.
Testing out a fun experiment of running a variation of my existing website locally.
What's cool about it?
- Served off a Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3
- Running entirely in RAM (thanks Alpine!)
- Web server -> darkhttpd
- Has a tiny ~$4/year VPS in front of it handling the TLS termination
I'm sure things will explode if too many visitors slammed the poor little Pi, but I think regular traffic would be completely fine ;)

PS. sorry if it falls over!
Raspberry Pi prices rise again, along with a new 3GB Raspberry Pi 4 announced https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/raspberry-pi-prices-rise-again-along-with-a-new-3gb-raspberry-pi-4-announced/
I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
